Frying Frozen Food; Troubleshooting - DeLonghi DEEP FRYER Instructions For Use Manual

FRYING FROZEN FOOD

1. Due to their extremely low temperature, frozen foods inevitably lower the temperature of the oil. For good
results each time you fry, we recommend you don't exceed the maximum quantities set out in the following
table.
2. Frozen foods are frequently covered with a coating of ice crystals, which should be removed before
frying. Lower the basket very slowly into the oil in order to ensure that the oil does not boil over.
Before lowering the basket into the oil, ensure that the lid is securely closed.
3. To obtain best results, do not exceed recommended max. quantity of food.
The cooking time shown in this table are approximate, and may vary according to the initial temperature of
the food and to the cooking temperature recommended on the packet.
Type of food
Pre-cooked frozen potatoes
Potato zucchini
Fish Fish-fingers
Prawns
Meat Chicken cutlets (2)
(*) This is the recommended quantity for excellent results. Naturally a larger quantity of frozen potatoes can
be fried, taking into consideration that they will be a little more greasy due to the sudden drop in the tem-
perature of the oil, upon immersion.
